Currie & Brown pinches rival boss

Currie & Brown has poached Faithful + Gould’s head of operations for Wales and the South West to oversee its operation across England and Wales.

Neil Brierley (pictured), who was at the firm for almost five years, is set to replace Peter Taylor as Currie & Brown’s new regional managing director for England and Wales.

Taylor, who was with the business, which is owned by Lebanese firm Dar, for 18 years, will continue on a consultancy basis.

Brierley, who previously spent 22 years at Davis Langdon, said: “The company is clearly ambitious, and I am looking forward to working with colleagues to continue to support clients in the region to deliver successful projects.”

Earlier this year, Currie & Brown’s UK business appointed eight new directors, including bringing in five new faces.
